Sooo really, I was sitting around wondering what to possibly blog about tonight. I was still in the plotting stage when I got an email saying I had a message on my My Space account. Hmm. So I go open it and here’s what I get from a guy who lives in the same state as I do….
Hi Shelli, How are you? I can’t help but try to connect with a woman who writes romance novels. You must have a seriously dirty mind if you can write well enough to turn people on. Do you like very tall men?
A seriously dirty mind? Ack! Even if that were true, which actually it probably is, why would you attempt to hit on someone you don’t know with such a tacky line? I mean come on. Okay, granted I’m single. And I write erotic romance. But do you really think that makes me a candidate for the ‘Legs Wide Open’ club? If I were looking to date or find someone to have sex with, then I would have put up an ad that looked something like this. ‘Hey, I’m single and write kinky arse books! Let’s f*ck!‘ But I’m not looking to date right now. So please, please don’t seek me out. Even if I do like tall men.
So off the rant. I’m sure many of you erotic romance writers have gotten similar emails or letters, but this was my first. So thanks for reading this entry.
On a writing related note! I plotted out my book for the EC Caveman entry. Honestly, I don’t know how much of a chance it’ll have. It’s going to be contemporary, light, with lots of exploring in the bedroom. Is it enough? We’ll see. Actually, this is going to sound sooo cheesy. But I’ve been meaning to write this piece. Because my heroine can’t trust military men and ends up falling in love with one. I’m pretty anti-military men because of a really bad experience I had with Emma’s dad, so I think this will help heal my bitter emotions. See? CHEESY!!! But the book was begging to be written. And Loribelle gave me some great ideas! It’ll be good. Someone will buy it! Even if EC doesn’t end up wanting it.
Okay, the pic of the day. Not earth shattering, but seemed somewhat appropriate somehow….
p.s. All you people who’ve been entering my newest contest (details on my site) I’ve got you on my list! Thanks!
